rs prices for their mill run. Prices obtained for culls are some- 

 t lower than a year ago. Export trade with Great Britain is 

 reginning to pick up and orders are being received with fair regu- 

 larity now, while South America is also showing some interest in 

 '■-:radian hardwoods. The business from the States is mostly of the 

 -^ . order variety for immediate deliverj-. There has been a slight 

 ; rovement in the furniture trade in Canada. In the low grade, 

 ecially. factories are running to an average of about seventy per 

 t of their capacity, with prospects of business steadily improving. 

 Iii the higher grades and in office furniture business is more quiet, 

 although the furniture trade generally is absorbing a fair quantity 

 of hardwoods. 



MILWAUKEE 



A decided improvement in the wholesale hardwood lumber market 



has been reported by leading wholesalers and jobbers in the local 



market, ^"hile there is nothing resembling a boom, the market has 



'oubtedly taken a turn for the better after the long period of 



• ression. Wholesale prices at neighboring lumber markets and 

 Cjrisuraing centers have started upward and the trend bids fair to 

 continue through 1922. There is little likelihood of the market ever 

 reaching tbe peaJi of 1920, at least not for several years to come, 

 is the opinion of a prominent lumber market expert who had been 



recent visitor to Milwaukee. The improvement which started two 

 .-•.s ago wa,'! more substantial in character and i.s a direct result 

 .; tiife general improvement in business of all lines. 



The railroad strike for a time caused a little speculation on the 

 subject of future lumber prices, but the strike as it has progressed 

 tiiis far has not checked lumber shipments to any great extent, 

 ilany of the jobbers report that they have difficulties in securing cars, 

 more so than usual, and that they expect to be seriously hampered if 

 the strike continues. The fact that the car shortage is coming has had 

 a tendency to stimulate buying of hardwoods both by the retail yards 

 and the industrial consumers. 



The steadily increasing demand from the musical instrument, furni- 

 ture and automobiles body manufacturers has strengthened the mar- 

 ket. The retail yards are buying heavily but this chiefly affects 

 Ffjftwood market, although hardwood flooring is in good demand 

 , many items of flooring are extremely scarce both in the northern 

 ai.d .southern woods. Hardwoods for finishing homes started in the 

 building boom are wanted. Sash and door factories are proving to 

 be good buyers at this perio<3.
